Told in the form of a fictional story, A Better Life inspires readers by introducing them to an all-knowing teacher named Amicus. The mysterious instructor shares with his disappointed-by-life student 21 lessons that hold the secrets to changing everything about his life. By taking action on Amicus’s lessons, the once-disheartened student finds a sense of inner renewal and develops an inspired vision for his future.

“A Better Life is for those who have lost their passion in life, have given up on chasing their goals, or have lost sight of what their goals even are,” shares author Shawn Anderson. “Reading the book adds a much needed shot of adrenalin to those who are feeling uninspired and have lost their sense of purpose and direction.”

The motivational speaker and the author of six books including SOAR to the Top! and Extra Mile America: Stories of Inspiration, Possibility and Purpose, Anderson is also the creator of “Extra Mile Day” – a day recognizing the capacity we each have to create positive change when we go the extra mile. Known for “walking his talk” Anderson has also motivated himself to hike hundreds of miles across three different countries and pedal a bike solo 4,000 miles across the United States twice.

Anderson concludes, “We’ve all been there in one way or another – a lost job, a failed relationship, financial desperation, poor health, fading hope. This book shares that even after we have been hit by a big life disaster, life can become great again – and maybe even better. A Better Life highlights the fact that no matter what has happened in our lives, we are still in control of writing our final chapters.”
